Thanks to a couple of readers for sending:
“Surprisingly polite, especially for Dupont. Might be a good time to remind folks that residential cans don’t always get flipped so putting loose trash in them (like poop bags) just forces whoever Read More
“Dear PoPville,
Any advice for now to contact the developers for the new Wardman Park location in Woodley Park? I live along Harvard St NW in Columbia Heights and for weeks now, day after day all we hear are the deafening sounds of large dump trucks, cement trucks, and garbage trucks roaring up the street, all of which are coming from the Wardman Park redevelopment in Woodley Park.

“Dear PoPville,
Stand near Milkbar on 15th St and you’ll hear a loud beep every 45 seconds. It’s from an alarm to the left of Milkbar’s “1525” sign above their entrance. It flashes red as it beeps. Read More

“Dear PoPville,

They’ve been replacing the roof at the fire station for the past couple weeks and this has resulted in lots of noise every morning because they start bright and early (including on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend). Today they’ve gone to the next level — they started work at 5:30 in the morning, Read More

This particular issue has been ongoing since the start of the pandemic in 2020. It involves 2-3 preachers yelling into an amplified speaker right next to the Truist Bank and steps from the WMATA 52-54 bus stop on the corner of 14th and Irving Streets NW for hours on end. Read More
Thanks to N. for passing on from DPR yesterday:
“DPR pools have seen 260,000+ visitors this summer! It’s cool to be at the pool, but we must be safe! Starting today, safety breaks returned to only children and guardians exiting the pool for 15 min every hour at the 45-minute mark.”

From the office of Eleanor Holmes Norton (Tuesday):
“After her amendments to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Bill were excluded by the Rules Committee late last night and an amendment filed by Rep.
